The headstock oil pump system must be cleaned 
and the oil changed after the break-in period and 
then annually (or every six months with hard 
service or extreme working conditions).

  DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

  Remove the cap from the fill spout shown in 

Figure 110.

  Place at least a 3-gallon drain pan under the 

tank and remove the drain plug to empty the 
oil into the pan.

   Clean away any dust, debris, metal shavings, 

or grime from the access cover.

   Using a 4mm hex wrench, remove the four 

access cover cap screws, then use the cap 
screw in the center as a handle and lift off 
the access cover.

   Put on splash-proof safety glasses, rubber 

gloves, and a respirator rated for fumes. 

 

Using mineral spirits and rags, wipe down 
the inside of the tank to clean it. Make sure 
to soak up any excess mineral spirits with a 
dry rag, so it does not stay in the tank.

   After the tank is completely cleaned out, 

unthread the screen from the bottom of the 
pump suction pipe (see Figure 111), and 
remove the screen from the tank.

  Clean the suction screen thoroughly with 

mineral spirits and compressed air.

  Re-install the suction screen.

 Consider placing one or two magnets at the 

bottom of the tank to collect any fine metal 
particles generated by the headstock drive 
train. This will make cleaning easier the 
next time around and ensure that more 
metal particles are kept out of the headstock 
oil.

  Re-install the drain plug.

  Refill the tank with oil (refer to Page 56 for 

the recommended type and amount of oil to 
use).

  Replace the fill spout plug.
